Hi Tony,
How do you mix up your alkenet root stain? Up until recently I've used a stain I made by soaking ground alkenet root in alcohol. Recently I soaked some ground alkanet root in some modified (dryer added) linseed oil "Original Finish" I purchased from Track of the Wolf, gunsmith supply. I haven't tried it yet but the oil has taken on a nice dark red color.

PS the stock work is superb, absolutely beautiful!
